Fantastic service, we were picked up by a guide and a driver, both very friendly! We had a great private experience with all the history explained very well! The pyramids were great and they are much less a tourist selfie hot spot like the giza pyramids. Lunch was at a really nice restaurant! Very happy!
Thank you so much Patrick for your great review! 🙏😊 We’re really happy you enjoyed your private Saqqara, Dahshur & Memphis tour and that both your guide and driver made you feel comfortable and welcome. Saqqara and Dahshur are truly special — incredible history, amazing pyramids, and much more peaceful than the busy Giza area (perfect for a more authentic experience!). 🏜️✨ We’re also glad you enjoyed the lunch at a nice restaurant. Thank you again, and we hope to see you back in Egypt soon! 🇪🇬🌟
A variety of pyramids from the step to the bent and Red Pyramid, the model for Khufu is less crowded and offers the same insight into these majestic man-made structures. The guide was excellent and planned everything allowing us time to enter the Red Pyramid which is easier to get into crowd wise and has a similar architecture to Khufu. The step Pyramid, d'Ouserkaf, the Bent Pyramid and the other pyramids which can be seen such as the Black and Sekhmenhet were enjoyed as was the ancient capital remains of Memphis, Our tour was topped off with an excellent lunch of local cuisine. Allowing us time to walk around the pyramids helps to immerse you in the grandeur and power they provide
Thank you very much for this thoughtful and detailed review! 🌟 We’re truly delighted that you enjoyed the Saqqara and Dahshur pyramids tour and appreciated the quieter, more immersive experience these historic sites offer compared to Giza. Exploring the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the Bent Pyramid, and entering the Red Pyramid is a unique journey into the evolution of pyramid architecture in ancient Egypt, and we’re glad the timing allowed you to enjoy it comfortably and without crowds. It’s wonderful to hear that the visit to Memphis and the local Egyptian lunch added to the richness of the day. Our goal is always to give guests enough time to walk, explore, and truly feel the power and grandeur of these incredible monuments. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back soon for more unforgettable Egypt pyramid tours. 🇪🇬✨
Hammad was an excellent tour guide and a pleasure to meet. He was early for our pick up and provided an excellent vehicle and driver. I love Egyptology and I have been studying it for years… But I learned several new things from Hammad. He also allowed us to make slight modifications to our itinerary to better suit our needs. I would highly recommend this tour guide.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re delighted to hear that Hammad made your visit to Saqqara and Dahshur memorable with his knowledge, flexibility, and warm hospitality. Our goal is always to provide comfortable travel and insightful guiding, and it means a lot to know we exceeded your expectations. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon to explore even more treasures of Egypt with us!
